Some of my coins:)

Here are most of my U.S. coins:)
I know there not as 'nice' as most members coins, but that doesn't matter to me.:)

Nice collection you have there!

Have you checked your Franklin out
To see if it's a Bugs Bunny variety?

I love coins and would be proud to have any of these coins in my collection.
"Nice" is relative to the enjoyment they bring you.
Once of my favorite sets is my old Whitman penny board I put together as a kid from "poker pennies" my family had in a jar.
Some coins are just plain "interesting"

Neat stuff!  You have a great variety of U.S. designs, I wish I still had a standing liberty and a buffalo.....and a Columbian, too. :)

It's easy to forget this, but there will always be someone with a "nicer" example.   I especially like nice circulated coins because you can always imagine who held it, what it was paying for back then, can't get that with MS examples. 

 You have a great start there, keep at it! :ThumbsUp;

Welcome to coinsarefun, thatoneguy.  : )

You've got a nice start on your collection with a good variety of U.S. coinage.

The images/scans are nice, too.  Thanks for sharing them.  : )
I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of Conder Tokens,
the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

Great group of coins there, thatoneguy!   Thanks for sharing.

I have to 2nd the point that JRocco made.  I have a few tokens in my collection that only cost me from $15-$25.  They are circulated examples, not anything near as nice as can be found, but I love them just as much as my better material and they bring me just as much enjoyment.  Those pieces didn't cost an arm and a leg either which is one of the things about them that I find most enjoyable.
